A new weekly paper in Alabama
is called the Hillbilly Herald,
and it's motto is thus announced :
Dimmycrat it, principull; Agin
the Railroads and Revenoe; a Free
Ballot and a Fair Count; W ildcat
Liquor and Free Terbacker.
Georgia towns generally realize
the importance of manufacturing.
Dawson will soon have a $100,
000 cotton factory all home capital.
Griffin already has three or four
factories and another is soon to be
erected. Cotton factory towns are
prosperous ones, Amcncus has
the money to build factories but it
lacks the nerve to tackle them.—

Foley's Kidney Cure

Now, Mr. Editor the purpose of
your answer is to endeavor to poison
the minds of some people who will
not have the opportunity of finding
out the truth of the matter before
the palmar/, and influence them to
vote against Sheriff Sheppard to
succeed himself. VVhut Sheriff in
Dooly county ever received a per
cent of the advertising fee from a
paper published in Vienna? What
Sheriff ever received half of the
advertising fee from a paper pub
lished in Vienna?
Mr. Editor—Didn't you go to
Sheriff Sheppard when you first
heard that he was going to change
the legal advertising from your
paper to the News and ask him
how much money or what it would
take to influence him not to change
them?
Mr. Edjtor: It has been our in
tention to let everything pass off
without any newspaper controver
sy, but you have been, misrepre-
ting the facts connected with the
Sheriff that we demand the proof
of in an open manner. We have
nothing to say ugainst any candi
date, and we will not allow you to
suy and publish what is false just
beet use you ore “puffed up” about
losing the legal advertisements.
Futhermore, any mun who says
that n money consideration obtain
ed from the Sheriff the change of
the legal advertisements from the
Progress to the News is either do
ing so to try to influence votes to
turn ugainst the good old Sheriff of
Dooly county or he is just simply
lying.
Mr. Editor: You are telling peo
ple, on the sly, that you heard that
the News gave Sheriff Sheppard
$350 to chunge the advertisements.
This is a lie and you cun not trace
it back to anything else.
Mr. Editor: The old adage "He
who laughs last laughs best” can
be appropriately applied to your
case at present. Didn't you boast
lust summer, just before and after
the News whs launched, that it
wouldn’t live three months? Didn’t
you inquire of certain people, when
you hud the legal advertisements,
and say to them that you did not
understand how we were running
or making a living? Didn't you
comment further in a boasting spirit
that the county was feeding you?
Neither the News nor the people
object to you supposing the can
didate of your choice, provided you
do so m an open and legitimate
manner. But we do object and
will expose every stab you give
any candidate in the back.
Mr. Editor; Didn’t you do
everything in your power to get
Sheriff Sheppard to nume a certain
time when he would change the ad
vertisements back to the Progress,
that if he would do so you would
not fight him in his race tor re-elec
tion?
Mr. Editor: When you said it
was a “glance of the eagle eye of
your candidiute” that detected the
filing of the cage of John Henry
Peavy, after the sawing had been
going on for three weeks; if you
wtere not doing this to misrepresent
Sheriff' Sheppard in order to elect
; on his cage,
1 who was asked to tell
the Sheriff about it on Friday be
fore it wus detected on Tuesday
morning?
Mr. Editor; You tried to leave
the impression in your paper of the
1st. inst. that Sheriff Sheppard
d.dn’t give John Henry Peavy a
chance to make as long a statement
as he wanted to, saying that he
only spokte eight minutes and that
it was then 12:30 o’clock and that
the law allowed him until two
o’clock. This is not true and the
records in the Clerk’s office will
bear out what I have to say on the
subject. In the first place the sen
tence is for him to hung between
the hours ot 12 and 1 o’clock, and
not 2 o’clock ns you would have
the people believe. In the second
place the Sheriff did not tell John
Henry that he could not talk any
longer, but told him that his time
was about up and that lie could
have prayer and sing a song, John
Henry then finished telling what
he was talking about and proceed
ed to sing u song and have pray
er. He did not even show any
sign whatever that he wanted
to talk any more. Besides he was
on the stand more than twenty
minutes had elapsed since the drop
fell. These are facts thut can be
substantiated by a dozen or more
prominent citizens who were pres
ent nt the execution. The first
means that you employed to injure
Sheppard was the local that ap
peared in your pifper insinuating
that according to the tales told by
some ot the negroes around Pine-
liurst, that John Henry’s body was
not cold when it urrived there and
remained so for some time after,'
and furthermore .that they were
nbout to make up a purse to have
him brought bacx to life. But you
didn't 6top at that. You were
passed by unnoticed us you should
have been, and the next time you
started your information culunin
you asked questions under the name
of “Voter” and answering them in
language similar to the questions,
relative to the hanging of John
Henry Peavy and the conduct and
manner of the Sheriff in perform
ing certain duties in his office.
Since you hnve pitched your sup
port of your choice in such a man
ner, it becomes necessary for the
News to ask some questions for you
to unswer in an open manner with
the proof to back them ud. This
we want you to do and we dont
want you to wait until it is too
late to be answered and the people
given the "whole truth aud noth
ing but the truth."
The people of Dooly county
know Sheriff Sheppard too well to
believe any insinuation tint the Ed
itor of the Progress might make
against him and when the. votes
are counted out on the night of
the 5th. day ot June we feel cer
tain that the people of the great
State of Dooly will sit flat down
on the unjust and unfair methods
that the Progress has seen fit to
employ against Sheriff Sheppard.
